Accepting new clients! Are you feeling hopeless and even considering divorce? Are you drained from fighting with your partner? It is likely a different topic each time, but the pattern of the arguments feels the same. They leave you feeling unheard, misunderstood, and maybe rejected and hurt. Or, perhaps, you’re in a relationship others envy because on the outside, you appear to get along so well. But behind closed doors, there is no connection, fun or intimacy. Work, kids, or other stressors drain your time and energy, and you do little more with your partner than fall asleep next to them exhausted at the end of the day.

Change is a part of living. It can be exciting but also anxiety-provoking. For over 20 years, I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults not only to adapt to challenging life situations but to thrive and reach their potential for success and personal growth. Adults who were experiencing relationship issues, occupational stress, parenting challenges, ADHD, anxiety, and depression have found comfort, hope and support in therapy with me. Clients recognize my ability to help them move forward in their lives at a pace that makes sense for who they are and the needs they have when entering therapy.

How is it going? Whether we have a difficult work situation, a relationship issue, struggles with life changes, caught in the cycle of addiction, unresolved childhood trauma, or feel just plain stuck, the anxiety and depression that result can leave us feeling overwhelmed. Sometimes we have no idea what is happening, but certain things just seem to trigger panic or reactions we do not fully understand. Other times, finding the motivation to get out of bed in the morning is a major effort. Old and familiar ways of getting though these challenges no longer work. Something must change, but what and how?

Advanced EMDR (ask about EMDR Intensives!) IFS, CBT, DBT and EFT are my primary tools of choice for trauma, depression, anxiety, and a host of other personal and relationship issues.
Sometimes we feel alone, misunderstood, scared. Other times we feel anger, turmoil, overwhelmed. It can be a painful past which still gives us no peace, or a fork in the road ahead which confuses us. We may have no way to settle our fears. Children may be challenging us, or we may be observing them struggle in their personal lives. Relationships may be unsettling or disappointing. What we all want is happiness, inner peace. Gratifying relationships. Pride in our parenting. A way to move on from past traumas and allow us to feel free again.

Usually this manifests in anxiety, panic, depression, relationship issues, and trauma symptoms.
Congratulations on taking steps toward support! Finding a clinician is not always easy, it takes time, and starting is hard! But feeling connected with your provider is one of the most important aspects to create support and change. I hope you find that connection on your journey whether with me or somebody else. Most people start counseling from a place of feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and uncertain how to change it. Some people know what is creating these challenging emotions in their life and other's don't. We will work together to explore your personal factors, determine your ideal goals, and strategize steps to fulfill them!

Negotiating change can be a daunting task for adolescents and adults alike causing significant stress. This emotional or behavioral reaction can take the form of anxiety, depressive symptoms, and/or behavioral changes. Triggers include work/school problems, moving, financial issues, relationship difficulties, family conflict, illness, or starting a new school/job. Since 2005, I have assisted countless adolescents and adults as they navigate the challenges presented to them. Utilizing psychotherapy and coaching, I work with individuals, couples, & families. My personal style is best described as warm, genuine, & understanding. My services are delivered with compassion, empathy, and a twist of humor.

In my professional capacity as a licensed social worker and psychotherapist, I have had the honor to accompany persons of all ages and backgrounds in their quest for insight and self-discovery. I believe that trust and vulnerability are at the core of the client-therapist relationship and that the client’s innate wisdom and judgment rule supreme. With that in mind, strategies and interventions in achieving clearly defined yet dynamic goals arise through a process of critical inquiry. In this process, I have witnessed individuals redefine and recreate who they are as they move toward greater lucidity and self-fulfillment.

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
